Size and conformation of hyaluronic acid, and 1-amino-1-deoxy-lactitol grafted hyaluronic acid, achieved by sampling their degrees of freedom using statistical mechanics. As the Vitruvian man encapsulates the harmonic form of the human body, so polymer structures express harmony in their geometries. Adapted from Leonardo da Vinci, proportion of the human body. metal-tannic ink, watercolor […]
